Osborne Joins the Family
D.M. Osborne & Co.
of Auburn, N.Y. was a prominent manufacturer of twine
binders and a major competitor of the McCormick
Harvesting Machine Co. Although it was not part of the
1902 merger that created International Harvester Co.,
International purchased Osborne the following year. The
company continued to market the Osborne line until 1918,
when it agreed to sell the Osborne and several other
lines to settle an anti-trust lawsuit.
